I take exactly what I want from this site - great people, sexy people, some good conversation and some interesting drama. Some days are better than others, but overall I have more fun than not here.

that is kind of depressing.

still, in a few years i wanna be thought of as a poor man's version of Jeff Black.
:biggrin:

second rate at best, Mr. Bbucko.. nobody can match Mr. Black's post-whoring and straight out whoring.

never met a man more eager to be the foundation level of a flesh pile.... erm, well, maybe Mr. Novice.. not sure how is moderly duties would conflict with wanton peen chasing. *pictures Mr. Novice running backward after Sorcerer/Alex8/VinnieS. threatening to ban him unless he stops trying to escape*

Mr Black can (if he chooses) to speak for himself, but you are (said lovingly) the most blatant postwhore currently posting, dearheart.

*Sigh* Novice sure has an ass, doesn't he :rolleyes:

If you think this forum is going to shit, take a gander around the internet at a few other forums. The medium itself isn't where it was before the advent of Facebook. People seemingly (I don't have facts to back this up, just personal experience) don't utilize forums with the frequency they did five or ten years ago. There was a time there was an active forum for everything and not just one, but dozens.

My very first internet forum was a Final Fantasy forum all the way back in 2001. It had an extremely active community that participated in furthering the site, making graphics and skins, posting video reviews, creating topics, etc. It was one of a couple of dozen that were going strong at that point. Fast forward ahead to 2004. That forum went from several hundred posts a day in 2001 (non-spam posts, real ones) to just over 50. It finally closed its doors in 2006.

It's that way with a lot of the forums I frequent. A few years ago they were super active and now seem to be in their twilight. This site, however, is extremely active. New members show up every day, people post regularly and the senior staff proposes and implements things with seeming frequency. The chatroom, the blogs, the ability to upload videos and pictures- all that stuff goes along way to keeping the doors open. So it might not be as good as you remember it being... but I think it's a long way from "going to shit."

When new people stop signing up and the post count per day drops into the double digits... that's when you start to worry.

I'm quite fond of this site as it is. My only gripe is that hardly anyone uses the search function before starting a thread. That is how we get 10+ threads with the exact same question or information.
Yeah they can be annoying, but the search function here is at times less than stellar. There can be 100 threads and depending on what you put n you can come up with none, or over a thousand. Most frustrating. I have spent an wasted time trying to find a thread in particular, before throwing up my hands and posting and praying to God none yells at me for no using the search function (which I DID).

Worse is say you find a thread and it is 17 pages long. You then have the option of reading all 17 pages (over half of which devolve into personal convos, inane jello pits (hey jello pits are cool, as are fleshpiles in general, at the tail end of a fucked up thread, but random ones in the middle of a viable thread can be irritating when on has to navigate them), of topic crap and so on. And if you skip to the end? You get yelled at for not reading the whole thing!

Worse yet? Even if you do make it through that, what if you have something to share in it? Something that no one else has thought of, or hell, a personal experience that you may want to share, or new info you want to impart? Then you are accused of necrobumpping, and if you are not one of the recious little darlings here that everyone cow tows too, then you get your shit jumped.

Now I am not saying this is the case in every instance. Jesus onnly knows that when we have 5 word associations going in the first page alone of the Funny Stuff forum, the 3 per page f "how do ou compare with your dad" oi the Sex with a large Penis forum, the whole ages of "cut or uncut " that flood both Healthy Penis AND Appearance forums, then yeah, maybe a try with the search button was n order (or, I don't know, OPENING YOUR FUCKING EYES!!!!! that works, too)
It is what it is. I enjoy the blogs, reading people's thoughts on certain topics, the occasional voyeuring I get to do.

*ponders* the site ain't as much fun as it used to be. is simple truth.

is the awesome individuals keeping me around, not so much the site in general.
Only been here a year. Have no great comparrison. Do miss certain individuals who made it fun for me (Maxcok, Petite, Basincreek...) but new peeole (new to the site or just t me) have entered my life (Intrigue, Resonatin9, ScotRandom, Catharsis...)

Give me five or more years here, and maybe i will be saying it is not as fun as it once was. Or maybe it will be even better. oping it is the latter.

I agree that it is the people that keep me logging in.
In a couple of years, these will be the glory days for someone else.

I take exactly what I want from this site - great people, sexy people, some good conversation and some interesting drama. Some days are better than others, but overall I have more fun than not here.
Bingo! The day when this is n longer the case is the day you and the rest of my friends will get a quiet farewell in PM mode and I will request my account to be closed.

Exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself! Even in my most grumptastic days I wouldn't say this site is "going to shit"! I have been on sites that have gone to shit, whether they just died out, or imploded with the venom of the membership.

A good example of activity, on a smaller scale? Look at some of the social groups you all may belong to. After the initial boom, when one starts, the post rate drops down. Some have new potings every damn day, but a lot will see a couple times to once a week poasting pattern, and others a once every four weeks.

Now picture that last one on the scale of an entire online forum. Not pretty picture.

What is the site if not the individuals? I don't understand the separation of the two.

over all vibe of the site vs. there are people i come here to keep in touch with.
when i first got to LPSG i didn't know anyone, just a newbie sorting through posts and heaps of older threads.

this place was awesome. like a great party.. even if you don't know anyone you have a great time. now, it's like showing up cuz your friends are here. the music ain't the same, the drinks are watered down, the neighbors bitch about the noise. but.. you're there cuz ya bestfriend is gonna be there, and Sean, who ya haven't seen in forever, promised to show up. and maybe y'll meet a new awesome person.

fully acknowledging that to heaps of folks i probably make LPSG a lil more suck with every post. :smile:

eta: and yes, i am aware that i'm not paid to be here *would be a full time job, double shifts :tongue1: and i'm not required to log on. is likes i said.. there are peoples here i adore. is enough.

Well I was kinda hoping there might be a super secret lair of fun that I unlock at 2000 posts or some such. But that just sounds like either the honeymoon period wearing off or fewer people you like still about. The vibe is created by the people, non?

I enjoy the new things discussed, but as I hang around, I notice more threads with the same questions, comments, and themes. So it gets harder to find new stuff. Comes with age and experience, I guess.


I notice that there are newbies here every day. I don't know the numbers but as newbies enter the system here, they have questions and concerns. Many of them the same as members who have been here longer. Sometimes the questions are expressed in the identical way as before and other times there is a twist but the end result is the same.

This does not bother me nearly as much as it seems to set off some of the folks that have been around for years and years. I see this as new people coming here for support and asking for it. (Then they end up getting bashed b/c they didn't use the "search" button.) That is very disheartening, and tiresome.

Understanding that there are people here that have been here for years and then someone new is joining probably right now.

And again, I came for something completely different from what is keeping me here. I enjoy the site, the people, the interesting conversations, and the fun/fantasy world.

Is that why I'm tingling all over? You sending me your vibes, honey? :tongue:

for clarity.. not saying i had anything to do with the awesomeness of yore. was the folks here and active at the time providing the goodness.

can't really even put my hands on it... everything just seems muted, dulled down, less easy. :shrug: is probably something going on in my own head.

ya is right about missing folks, heaps of folks :frown:

if there is a secret club, i think you don't get into until ya 7000th post.
i should be there next week.
*for the record.. you, i like :smile:

As long as there are avatars as scrumptious as Fancy pants', Mickey Lee's and Dragon's - may her absence be short - attached to beautiful minds, I'll stick around for a bit.

This site is what you make of it... literally.

I agree with you Rob.




It is true that lpsg.org is not what it was when I first joined, changes have taken place, members have come and gone and been banned. I don't come to the site as often as I used to, however I feel lpsg is still one of the better forums I have been to. I have joined a few other forums, but have not visited them in years. I will continue to be a member of LPSG. Like Rob said this site is what you make of it, we as members can help to change the site. but in all lpsg is a good place

It's the weekend, I can't control them!

I don't really have much to compare it against as I've only been active for the last year really, but all I've really noticed is perhaps fewer regulars. I think it's probably that which people aren't happy about.

*for the record, you are part of the LPSG awesome. I knew you'd be a good 'un to earn a tribute in Enid's sig for so long.
